NEW YORK, August 1, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Human rights activist Reggie Littlejohn has filed a complaint with the UN body that oversees women’s rights, asking that it crack down on China’s one-child policy and its totalitarian regime of forced abortion, gendercide, and human trafficking.

Women’s Rights Without Frontiers, of which she is president, filed a “Complaint Concerning Coercive Population Control” with the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (UNCSW) today.

The document cites the “Agreed Conclusions” from the UNCSW’s recent meeting in March, in which the world body vowed to “condemn and take action to prevent violence against women and girls in health-care settings, including…forced medical procedures,” specifically including “forced sterilization, forced abortion, and forced use of contraceptives.”

“The Chinese government,” Littlejohn wrote, “is the major perpetrator in the world of ‘forced medical procedures’ of the kind set forth in the UNCSW Agreed Conclusions.”

China, which boasts of preventing 400 million births since instituting the coercive population control policy in 1979, continues to forcibly sterilize women who have had one child (or in rare cases, two), and to abort any children beyond the government-prescribed limit, in defiance of international human rights norms.

Littlejohn recounts 13 incidents since the beginning of this year alone, including:

She added that, due to the sexual imbalance created through sex-selective abortions that favor male children, China ranks as a Tier-3 nation on the State Department’s Trafficking in Persons or TIP Report.

In addition to demanding that Beijing answer for its population policies, Littlejohn asked the world body to investigate its own UN Population Fund (UNFPA) for complicity in the one-child policy.
